Inspired by the great Leica original, the Type D is a wrist strap that is sturdy enough to be used on both 35mm, digital and medium format cameras. It has a buckle and keeper to allow the adjustment of the tightness of the strap around your wrist.
It will fit any camera with a tripod socket. With the fine adjustment available in the strap, it is possible to tune the amount of tension when using this strap as an accessory brace to hold the camera steadier for slow speed hand held shots. This was one of the main reasons Leica offered this strap.
And... if you have a Leica without strap lugs, you will find this strap very useful! This support of a camera without lugs combined with the ability this strap offers to brace the camera for slow speed shooting is what the original Leica TROOV (their product code name) was made for.
You will see a picture of the original Leica catalogue entry for the TROOV. The text translates as 'The Leica allows for a particularly steady camera position when looped around the left wrist for horizontal shots. The strap length is adjustable'
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LEATHER, METAL PLATE AND FINISH ON THE RIVETS WILL ALL WEAR WITH USE - JUST AS ON THE ORIGINAL STRAPS. WE LOVE THE WAY THIS PATINA DEVELOPS WE HOPE YOU WILL, TOO.
